Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator of the Deferred Salary and Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of Orbital Sciences Corporation
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Deferred Salary and Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of Orbital Sciences Corporation (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in acco rdance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DEFERRED SALARY AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES OF
ORBITAL SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Description of Plan
The following description of the Deferred Salary and Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of Orbital Sciences Corporation (the “Plan”) provides only general information required for financial statement purposes. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan is a voluntary defined contribution plan that is intended to constitute a tax-qualified profit sharing plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). All U.S. domestic employees of Orbital Sciences Corporation ("Orbital" or the "company") who are scheduled to work 1,000 hours during a 12-consecutive month period, or are not so scheduled but in fact complete a year of service for participation (“Plan Year”), and have attained the age of 21, are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Plan is administered by the company. The Plan’s trustee is T. Rowe Price Trust Company. The Plan’s re cord keeper is T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc.
Contributions
Participants may contribute up to 30% of their total eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to certain annual limitations under the Plan and the Code. Participants are also permitted to make contributions to the Plan on an after-tax basis up to 20% of total eligible compensation if participant annual compensation is $105,000 or less, or up to 9% of total eligible compensation if participant annual compensation exceeds $105,000.
The company matches 100% of the first 5% of compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan each pay period. The company may also make an annual discretionary profit sharing contribution based on the participant’s compensation. For 2009, the company made a discretionary profit sharing contribution equal to one percent of each eligible employee’s compensation subject to certain limitations.
Participants may invest their contributions and company contributions in any combination of investment alternatives available, including mutual funds, a stable value fund and Orbital common stock.
The Plan also allows participants to make rollover contributions from other tax qualified plans. Rollover contributions are included in the accompanying financial statements as a component of participant contributions and amounted to $1.2 million in 2009.
Participant Accounts
A separate account is maintained for each investment option of a participant by type of contribution. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, transfers, rollovers, company contributions and Plan earnings/losses. Allocations of company contributions, Plan earnings/losses and administrative expenses are based on participants' contributions, earnings or account balances, as applicable, as defined in the Plan document. Participants are entitled to a benefit equal to the vested portion of their participant account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and earnings thereon. The company’s contributions, plus earnings thereon, vest equally over a period of three years for employees with less than three years of service. The company’s contributions, plus earnings thereon, vest immediately for employees with three or more years of service. Company contributions vest immediately upon death or long-term disability.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures by terminated employees of nonvested employer contributions are held in a separate account and are used to offset either future employer contributions or administrative expenses of the Plan. The balance of forfeitures on December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $135,255 and $80,424, respectively.
Distributions to Participants
Upon termination of service, death, long-term disability, attainment of age 59 1/2 or qualified financial hardship, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the vested value of the participant's account or installments over a determined period as defined in the Plan document. The Plan provides that participants may also withdraw their vested account balances while still in service of the company in certain circumstances. Distributions are made in cash or, if a participant elects, in the form of company common shares to the extent the participant’s account is invested in company common shares.
Voting Rights
Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the shares of Orbital common stock allocated to his or her account.
Termination of Plan
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. If the Plan were terminated, participants would immediately become 100% vested in their accounts.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow up to the lesser of 50% of their vested account balance or $50,000 reduced by their highest outstanding loan balance in the past 12 months. Loan terms generally may not exceed five years. Loans for the purchase of a primary residence may not exceed ten years. Loans accrue interest at a rate commensurate with prevailing rates as determined by the Plan. As of December 31, 2009, interest rates on outstanding loans ranged from 3.25% to 9.50%.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
As described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies,” investment contracts, including synthetic guaranteed investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the basis for purchase or sale transactions. The Plan invests in such investment contracts, as described more fully below. The statements of net assets available for benefits present the fair value of the inv estment contracts as well as the related adjustment from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of mutual funds are valued at their stated net asset value per share held by the Plan at year-end. Orbital common shares are valued at the year-end closing market price. Participant loans are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of the Plan’s synthetic investment contracts is based on the market value of the individual underlying assets, which consist primarily of interest in a common collective trust fund that is valued based on information reported by the trustee using audited financial statements of the common collective trust fund at year-end.
The fair value of the wrapper contracts is calculated based on a marginal replacement cost methodology.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits includes the net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of its investments, which consists of realized gains or losses, and the unrealized appreciation and depreciation on those investments.
Benefit Payments
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Administrative Expenses
The Plan document provides that administrative expenses may be paid by either the Plan or the company. For the year ended December 31, 2009, certain administrative services and Plan management services were provided by the company at no cost to the Plan. Direct transaction expenses are paid by the Plan and are netted against investment income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Such estimates include those regarding fair value. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This guidance requires: (i) separate disclosure of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and reasons for the transfers; (ii) disclosure, on a gross basis, of purchases, sales, issuances, and net settlements within Level 3; (iii) disclosures by class of assets and liabilities; and (iv) a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for reporting p eriods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 disclosure requirements, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Plan’s financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Plan adopted ASU No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides amendments to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share. The update permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair value of an investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment if the net asset value is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. This ASU also requires additional disclosure of the attributes of the se investments such as: (i) the nature of any restrictions on the reporting entity’s ability to redeem its investment; (ii) unfunded commitments; and (iii) investment strategies of the investees. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Plan’s financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Plan adopted ASC 820, formerly known as FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. ASC 820 reaffirms that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The guidance also reaffirms the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Pl an’s financial statements.
(3) Investment Contracts
The Plan’s Stable Value Fund for Orbital is comprised of three investment contracts (synthetic GICs) issued by financial institutions that are fully benefit-responsive. A synthetic GIC is a guaranteed investment contract with a wrapper contract and an underlying investment or investments, usually a portfolio of high-quality intermediate term fixed income securities owned by the Plan. The fair value of the wrapper contracts, independent of their underlying investments, was $334,128 and $178,500 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The underlying investments associated with the Plan’s synthetic GICs are comprised of cash held in a money market mutual fund and an interest in the T. Rowe Price Managed Bond Common Trust Fund, which invests in fixed-income securities who se average S&P credit rating is generally AAA- or higher, with a duration range from two to nine years.
The synthetic GICs provide an interest crediting rate that resets quarterly and the issuers of the contracts provide assurance that future adjustments to the crediting rate will not result in a crediting rate less than zero. Investment gains and losses are amortized through the calculation of the crediting rate. The crediting rate is primarily based on the current yield-to-maturity of the covered investments, plus or minus amortization of investment gains and losses.
As described in Note 2, because the synthetic GICs are fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the synthetic GICs. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. The average yield in 2009 for the contracts was 4.9% and 4.5% based on the interest rate credited to participants and actual earnings, respectively.
Certain events could limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the financial institution issuers. Specifically, any event outside the normal operation of the Plan which causes a withdrawal from an investment contract may result in a negative market value adjustment with respect to such withdrawal. Examples of such events include, but are not limited to, partial or complete legal termination of the Plan, tax disqualification, certain Plan amendments if issuers’ consent is not obtained, improper communications to participants, group terminations, group layoffs, mergers or divestitures. The Plan Administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such events is probable.
In addition, the issuers of the investment contracts have certain rights to terminate their contracts and settle at an amount which differs from contract value. For example, events which could cause such a termination include (i) certain breaches by the Plan or the investment manager of obligations or representations under the terms of the investment contracts and (ii) performance under the contracts that would constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or other applicable law.
(4) Federal Income Taxes
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the company by letter dated December 5, 2008 that the Plan and its underlying trust qualify under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, are exempt from Federal income tax. Although the determination letter does not include all Plan amendments, the company believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, and believes that the Plan remains tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.
(5) Investments
The following investments, at fair value, represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets:
| | | December 31, | |
| | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| Stable Value Fund for Orbital: | | | | | | |
| T. Rowe Price Managed Bond Common Trust Fund | | $ | 87,571,461 | | | $ | 78,984,103 | |
| T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund | | | 6,105,011 | | | | 6,057,968 | |
| Insurance Wrapper Contracts (IRC) | | | 334,128 | | | | 178,500 | |
| Total Stable Value Fund | | | 94,010,600 | | | | 85,220,571 | |
| Orbital Common Stock | | | 30,951,744 | | | | 41,017,028 | |
| American Europacific Growth Fund | | | 26,463,664 | | | | 17,368,987 | |
T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund | | | 23,205,542 | | | | 16,924,129 | |
| PIMCO Total Return Fund | | | 20,579,488 | | | | * | |
| Harbor Capital Appreciation Fund | | | 19,743,359 | | | | * | |
* Less than 5% of Plan net assets
During 2009, the Plan's investments at fair value (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value as follows:
| Mutual funds | | $ | 59,989,950 | |
| Orbital Sciences Corporation common stock | | | (8,909,287 | ) |
| Net appreciation | | $ | 51,080,663 | |
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) regardless of whether an observable liquid market price exists. A description of the three level fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value are as follows:
| · | Level 1 includes observable inputs which reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. |
| · | Level 2 includes observable inputs for assets or liabilities other than quoted prices included in Level 1 and it includes valuation techniques which use prices for similar assets and liabilities. |
| · | Level 3 includes unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. |
The asset’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The T. Rowe Price Managed Bond Common Trust Fund is a Common Collective Trust that is valued at least quarterly on a net asset value per unit basis as determined by T. Rowe Price. Withdrawals are subject to a 90-day redemption notice period; however, the current policy is to allow a one day redemption notice period for participant withdrawals and a 30-day redemption notice period for Plan withdrawals. There are no unfunded commitments.
The investment strategy of the T. Rowe Price Managed Bond Common Trust Fund is to provide a high level of income consistent with the preservation of capital by investing principally in a diversified portfolio of marketable short to long-term investment grade fixed income securities including corporate bonds, U.S and international mortgage-backed securities, and U.S and foreign Government debt securities.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest, market and credit risk. Market values of investments may decline for a number of reasons, including changes in prevailing market and interest rates, increases in defaults and credit rating downgrades. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participant account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
(6) Reconciliation to Form 5500
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, net assets available for benefits per the accompanying financial statements reconcile to Form 5500 as follows:
| | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| Net assets available for benefits, per financial statements | | $ | 391,802,115 | | | $ | 299,489,472 | |
| Adjustment from contract value to fair value for fully benefit-responsive investment | | | 4,496,527 | | | | 700,973 | |
| Net assets available for benefits, at fair value, per Form 5500 | | $ | 396,298,642 | | | $ | 300,190,445 | |
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the change in net assets available for benefits per the accompanying financial statements reconciles to Form 5500 as follows:
| Change in net assets available for benefits, per financial statements | | $ | 92,312,643 | |
| Adjustment from contract value to fair value for fully benefit-responsive investment | | | 3,795,554 | |
| Change in net assets available for benefits, per Form 5500 | | $ | 96,108,197 | |
(7) Related Party Transactions
Certain Plan investments include funds managed by the Plan trustee as well as Orbital common stock. As a result, transactions in these investments are party-in-interest transactions, which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules. Purchases of $2,480,358 and sales of $3,640,821 of Orbital common stock were made during 2009. The market value of Orbital common stock held by the Plan at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $30,951,744 (2,028,292 shares) and $41,017,028 (2,100,206 shares), respectively. Certain administrative fees are paid to the Plan trustee.
(8) Subsequent Events
On April 2, 2010, Orbital acquired the spacecraft development and manufacturing business of General Dynamics Corporation’s subsidiary, GD Advanced Information Systems. The retained employees were eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to the Plan’s eligibility requirements, effective on the acquisition date. The Plan has received approximately $7.1 million of roll-over contributions through June 2010 from these new participants.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements.
